Student Information Assignment Links- For this project, you will need to use printed and online resources to research a constellation. A variety of websites have been listed on the Stars & Constellations at http://sciencespot.net/Pages/kdzastro2.html
Use the information on this page to help you as you research your constellation and fill out the sheet Adopt a Constellation Worksheet you recieved in class.
Final drafts must be written in black ink and include a list of at least 3 references you used for your information.
Discover the name of your constellation as well as the nickname. Describe the history of your constellation. Draw a diagram of your constellation. Label the major stars and provide lines to show the “shape” and/or outline of the constellation. Provide a list of the major stars in your constellation. Research each to find the information to complete the chart. What else did you learn about your constellation? Write three sentences to share additional information, such as where it is located, if it is used to “point” to other constellations and planets, or facts about the stars found in your constellation.
Don’t forget ... Include at least 3 references on the back of your worksheet. If it is a website, provide the title and URL.
